Chaos Void—Lin Yuan stared at the small mountain before him, composed entirely of the Ti Sands.
The Ti Sands were ford from the purest essence of temporal power. They could be divided or fused.
In order to transport the small mountain of ti out of the Wanwei Spaceti, Lin Yuan had split it into seven million portions.
When these seven million portions were reunited, they could once again rge into the ti mountain.
“No wonder ti beings love to explore.”
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face. Simply relying on secluded cultivation could never amass so much Ti Sands.
If he hadn’t sent his Tai Chi Soul into the Wanwei Spaceti, it would’ve taken who knows how many eons to gather such a vast quantity.
“My objective in entering the Wanwei Spaceti this ti has been fully accomplished.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Initially, he had only planned to collect a few thousand to ten thousand catties of the Ti Sands.
Yet he ended up acquiring a mountain worth seven to eight million catties—of course he was more than satisfied.
“Next, I can let the Tai Chi Soul delve a little deeper.”
Lin Yuan mused.
With such a large haul of ti resources, even if his Tai Chi Soul were to fall imdiately, he wouldn’t feel a shred of regret.
Moreover, through his battle with the bald Ti Lord, Lin Yuan had also confird the extent of his strength—he could be considered a powerful second-tier lord.
With strength at this level, even venturing deep into the Wanwei Spaceti wouldn’t pose much danger as long as he remained cautious.
Even if he were to face legendary-level Ti Lords, at worst, he’d lose a main battle body. It wouldn’t affect any of his other true selves.
With his strength rising and such ample gains in hand, Lin Yuan didn’t mind taking on so risk.
If he failed, it would rely cost him one Tai Chi Soul.
But if he gained sothing in the deeper reaches of the Wanwei Spaceti—even if it didn’t match the ti mountain—it would still surpass anything found slowly searching the outskirts.
“With my current strength, I can be more assertive, even in the depths of the Wanwei Spaceti—no need to tread so carefully.”
Lin Yuan thought.
Legendary-level lords were extrely rare. And given his current power, even if he wasn’t a match, he could retreat unscathed from any lord beneath that level.
Those who had touched the edge of legend and were enduring the final eight thousand tribulations—peak second-tier lords—could repel Lin Yuan, but even if they had the ability to suppress him, they wouldn’t bother.
It simply took too much ti. Just like Lin Yuan didn’t want to chase down the bald Ti Lord, those at the threshold of legend wouldn’t chase him either.
The Wanwei Spaceti only opened once every million or ten million years. Ti was precious. The Ti Lords were all quite rational.
As for legendary-level lords of the third tier… if Lin Yuan truly encountered one, he would imdiately destroy that Tai Chi Soul.
He wouldn’t give a legendary-level lord any opportunity to strike at him directly.
“Finally, I can head to Qingya Mountain to purchase the resources I need.”
Putting away the ti mountain, Lin Yuan fell into thought.
With such a large amount of Ti Sands, his first priority was to convert it into strength as quickly as possible.
With that in mind, his past self—residing in the past tiline—imdiately headed to Qingya Mountain, the hub where Ti Lords exchanged resources and information.
Upon entering, Lin Yuan imdiately noticed there were far more Lord avatars present than usual.
A faint air of “bustle” lingered in the air.
“It’s probably because of the opening of the Wanwei Spaceti.”
Lin Yuan wasn’t surprised. The opening of the Wanwei Spaceti was considered a major event in this vast dinsional rift region.
Lords who hadn’t appeared in eons would all converge there. Within the Wanwei Spaceti, the need to share intelligence skyrocketed, so naturally they gathered at Qingya Mountain to exchange information.
“Still… for sothing as well-known as the ‘Wanwei Spaceti,’ the source worlds I descended into hadn’t even heard of it.”
Lin Yuan frowned slightly in confusion.
In the dinsional rift region near the Chaos Void, any ti being with so strength had heard of the Wanwei Spaceti.
Yet the First Source World, Second Source World, and Third Source World—clearly situated in a rift—had no such knowledge.
“This dinsional rift is too vast…”
Lin Yuan marveled inwardly, concluding that the distance between the two regions must be imnse.
Even legendary-level Ti Lords hadn’t been able to map out the true expanse of the rift.
Furthermore, between different dinsional spaces existed countless layers of spaceti. The distance wasn’t rely spatial—it could also be temporal.
Perhaps the source worlds Lin Yuan traversed weren’t even on the sa tiline as the Chaos Void.
That would explain why none of the nearby dinsional rift zones had heard of the Wanwei Spaceti.
Ti Pavilion.
As Lin Yuan stepped inside, a twelve-eyed beast greeted him with a beaming smile.
“Didn’t expect to see you back so soon.” The twelve-eyed beast clearly rembered Lin Yuan.
“I’m here to purchase so resources,” Lin Yuan said bluntly.
“Please take a look.” The twelve-eyed beast flipped a hand, and countless shimring displays appeared before Lin Yuan.
“This one, that one, and that one too.”
Lin Yuan selected dozens of raw materials and precious resources, totaling so two to three hundred thousand catties of Ti Sands.
“You must’ve had a major windfall in the Wanwei Spaceti…” The twelve-eyed beast looked surprised.
Two or three hundred thousand catties of Ti Sands—this wasn’t sothing a newly ascended Ti Lord could normally produce.
Even many second-tier Ti Lords couldn’t readily bring out such a fortune in a single transaction. Most of their wealth was tied up in weapons and treasures; their liquid Ti Sands were limited.
“Had so good luck,” Lin Yuan replied.
To obtain such a mountain of ti—yes, he had indeed been lucky.
Of course, stopping the bald Ti Lord afterward was all about power.
If he hadn’t had the strength and had rely been a new ordinary Ti Lord, he most likely wouldn’t have been able to keep the ti mountain in the end.
The bald Ti Lord’s initial offer to split it in half was just a test.
If he had sensed Lin Yuan was weak and easily manipulated…
There’s no way he’d have just taken half.
“In a place like the Wanwei Spaceti, luck really is essential.”
The twelve-eyed beast nodded. In the Wanwei Spaceti, the tiline couldn’t be observed. Ti Lords had no way of foreseeing outcos, so luck played a huge role.
“But you must also be cautious. It’s dangerous in there, especially deeper in. I’ve heard several second-tier Ti Lords went all-out fighting over treasures—so even lost their main battle bodies.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
To make second-tier Ti Lords fight so viciously, the treasures being contested must be unimaginably valuable—perhaps even exceeding the worth of his ti mountain.
In the Wanwei Spaceti, with no access to tilines, the outco of a battle between Lords couldn’t be foreseen. Victory could only be decided through direct combat.
And when battles escalated, there was no room to hold back. The loss of a main battle body wasn’t uncommon.
“If you do encounter danger, rember to ntion my na. As long as it’s not a legendary-level Lord, it might help a little.” The twelve-eyed beast looked at Lin Yuan, giving another reminder.
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
“These are the materials and treasures you ordered.”
With a flicker of thought, the twelve-eyed beast brought forth nurous treasures radiating a deep and ancient aura, floating before Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took out the Ti Sands he had prepared.
“With these materials, I should be able to refine the Origin Bell to the peak of the second stage.”
In the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan began reforging the Origin Bell.
The large batch of Lord-level materials he purchased would be enough for the Origin Bell to undergo an extended period of transformation.
Wanwei Spaceti.
Lin Yuan kept pressing deeper.
“This is the inner region?”
Crossing a certain threshold, Lin Yuan imdiately felt a heightened suppression from the surrounding spaceti—he knew he had entered the depths of the Wanwei Spaceti.
Here, even second-tier Lords could fall.
“I must tread carefully.”
Though confident, Lin Yuan didn’t act arrogantly. He imdiately concealed his aura and chose a direction to explore.
Ti passed.
Eight thousand years went by in a flash.
“I’ve acquired rare treasures worth roughly two hundred thousand catties of Ti Sands.”
Flying through the deeper region of the Wanwei Spaceti, Lin Yuan was quite pleased.
The odds of finding rare treasures here were far higher than in the outer region.
Though this haul paled in comparison to the ti mountain, that was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. It wasn’t sothing one could encounter regularly.
“Rumble—”
From the distance ca a strange aura—seven completely different energies intermingled and spread out.
“What’s that?” Lin Yuan looked into the distance.
In the area suffused with those seven powers, he vaguely saw a ten-ter-tall sapling. The small tree glowed with seven colors, each emanating a distinct energy.
“The Sevenfold Divine Tree?” Lin Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly.
The Sevenfold Divine Tree—Tier 13 top-grade rare treasure, worth ten million catties of Ti Sands.
Its purpose: to help a Ti Lord’s physical body approach perfection.
Eons ago, there had once been two paths toward transcendence—“Perfect Soul” and “Perfect Body.”
The goal of the latter was to cultivate a perfect mind from a perfected physical body.
But eventually, soone proved that the Perfect Body path couldn’t lead to transcendence.
Still, evolving the body toward perfection could significantly enhance a Ti Lord’s power.
And the Sevenfold Divine Tree helped greatly in that process.
Though it couldn’t directly perfect the body, it could bring it very close.
Even so, to Ti Lords, such treasures were imnsely valuable. Ten million catties of Ti Sands was just its listed price—there was no real market for it.
“Already several Ti Lords have their eyes on it.”
Lin Yuan noticed seven or eight auras encircling the tree—all peak second-tier Ti Lords.
The Sevenfold Divine Tree had yet to mature, so they weren’t acting, just eyeing each other in standoff.
“I must fight for it.”
Gazing at the tree from afar, Lin Yuan felt a surge of desire.
The martial path of evolution excelled at physical cultivation. A treasure that could nurture the body to such an extent—how could he not need it?
Eight thousand years ago, he was already a peak second-tier Ti Lord. After that long, even without creating a “Primordial” technique, his power had advanced further—comparable to a Lord enduring their ninth billion tribulation.
“Seven or eight peak second-tier Lords—and more likely hiding in the shadows. If I go for it, I must strike fast and retreat imdiately once it’s in hand.”
Lin Yuan also stayed hidden nearby, silently watching the soon-to-mature Sevenfold Divine Tree.
Just a few dozen years later—
The seven auras began to subtly fuse.
“Now!”
Lin Yuan erupted suddenly, surging with terrifying power. His chaotic Tai Chi Dao swept forth like a sword, piercing through the lords’ encirclent and appearing beside the Sevenfold Divine Tree.
“Take!”
He seized the Sevenfold Divine Tree and transford into a ray of Primordial Light, breaking through the encirclent and vanishing.
In an instant, his aura completely disappeared from all the Ti Lords’ senses.
“Who was that?”
The second-tier Lords who’d been in a standoff were stunned. They were just about to act—then the tree was gone?
“What terrifying strength!”
“Forget it. No point chasing.”
The second-tier peak Lords and those hidden in the dark sighed inwardly. They had no intention of pursuing.
First, the one who took the tree was far too powerful. Had he failed, perhaps they could’ve tead up. But with the tree in hand, it was pointless to chase.
To snatch the Sevenfold Divine Tree back from such a being? The odds were next to zero.
In the distance—
Several other Ti Lords had also been observing the tree.
One of them looked stern. Behind him stood over a dozen ti beings, including the “Mother of the Spiral Realm” and Wan Chengkong.
This dignified Ti Lord was Lord Chu Wei, a lord from the region near the Chaos Void. With the opening of the Wanwei Spaceti, he had gathered ti beings to explore the unknown.
At the mont, Lord Chu Wei was explaining the identities of the Ti Lords near the Sevenfold Divine Tree to those behind him.
He had no intention of vying for the treasure—he knew his limits. But to witness such a treasure from afar was satisfying enough.
“That one is Lord Blacklight, a peak second-tier Lord. If you et him, don’t offend him.”
“That’s Lord Sky Silver, also peak second-tier. None of you can withstand him even if he attacks from the past.”
“That’s Lord Greenwood…”
Lord Chu Wei introduced them all to the ti beings behind him. Even seeing one of these Lords normally was rare—now they had seven or eight gathered.
The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong listened closely. Intelligence on Lords usually cost a fortune in Ti Sands. Getting it directly from Chu Wei was a huge gain.
Just then—
A misty ray of Primordial Light flashed across the distance, piercing the Lords’ encirclent, snatching the Sevenfold Divine Tree, and vanishing in an instant.
By the ti the tree was gone, the Lords realized what had happened. Still, no one moved.
“Who was that?”
The ti beings behind Chu Wei were in disbelief.
The Sevenfold Divine Tree just… disappeared?
Chu Wei also hadn’t reacted in ti.
After a mont, he spoke with lingering fear: “The being who took the tree—his power is far beyond the other second-tier peak Lords. If you run into him, don’t bother escaping. If he wants you dead, there’s no escape.”
Chu Wei composed himself, then said with shock, “Strange… I’ve never heard of such a figure before.”
What Chu Wei didn’t notice was the look of disbelief on the faces of the Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong.
That ray of Primordial Light was overwhelmingly powerful, but the faint hint of Tai Chi aura within it felt oddly familiar to the two of them.
“Why does it feel like the Milky Way…”
The Mother of the Spiral Realm thought she must be mistaken. She had sparred with Lin Yuan several tis and had faced his Chaos Tai Chi Dao.
That’s why she sensed the resemblance.
Chaos Void.
One of Lin Yuan’s avatars was chatting leisurely with the Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong.
The three ti beings t up regularly and got along quite well.
“Hahaha, Milky Way, earlier the Spiral Realm and I were in the Wanwei Spaceti watching the contest over the Sevenfold Divine Tree. In the end, a mysterious powerhouse snatched it, and his techniques looked quite a bit like yours.”
Wan Chengkong looked at Lin Yuan with interest. “Milky Way, did you perhaps inherit that being’s legacy?”
The Mother of the Spiral Realm nodded in admiration. “A legacy from such a powerful being must be extraordinary. No wonder you’re so strong—what a stroke of fortune.”
The two looked at Lin Yuan with a bit of envy.
Even soone like Lord Chu Wei was awed by that mysterious powerhouse. Ti beings like them could only look up to him.
Of course, the two were only envious—they didn’t have any ulterior motives. They were simply amazed by Lin Yuan’s good fortune.
“The Sevenfold Divine Tree?”
Lin Yuan looked at the two.
In the Wanwei Spaceti, the tiline couldn’t be observed and causality was suppressed. He hadn’t realized they were nearby.
“Yes, that mysterious Lord who took the tree—who is he? Even Lord Chu Wei didn’t recognize him,” Wan Chengkong asked, full of curiosity.
The Mother of the Spiral Realm added, “If it’s sothing you’d rather not say, it’s fine. We’re just curious.”
“No need to hide it.”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. “I was the one who took the Sevenfold Divine Tree.”
The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong froze upon hearing that.
